[Discuss-gnuradio] forecast method for HDLC transmit block

2008-10-21 Thread Ed Criscuolo
I'm building a set of blocks to implement the HDLC link-layer functions for a spacecraft communication system. These blocks deal with IP packets from/to the stack on one side, and a bitstream to/from the modulator/demodulator on the other side. The receive block is already done and working. It ta
